The Puits Couriot, closed since 1973 and the first French mining site to be classified as a "historic monument" in 2011, is renovating the scenography of all its galleries. The initial project launched in 2012 preserved the many traces of the site's activity (rails, fragments of platforms, stop blocks) and included the development of an urban park covering more than six hectares.
Today, for the guided tour of the underground mining gallery, a new scenography is implemented through the Metal Galleries, the Wooden Galleries and the Stables. An immersive space at the crossroads of the Galleries will enable visitors to experience and understand the dangers of the mine and its countermeasures, with the help of mapping on all surfaces and multi-track sound system.
